And when it comes to current drivers Kasey Kahne, Chase Elliott, Jimmie Johnson and Dale Earnhardt Jr., it seems they want to make sure to point the credit right back toward Hendrick.

"The experience with Mr. H -- I watched it from afar and dreamed of driving for him," Jimmie Johnson said. "Then when this all came together -- it's mind-blowing that I've had this opportunity. But the view from afar is very close to what the experience has been. He's an awesome guy."
